Dear all,
I want to build a new budget desktop for an architect that uses mostly the following programs:
CAD, VRay, 3D Max and Photoshop. (this is going to be a home desktop so I'm not looking at the professional components that are extremely expensive)
I'm not an expert so I really need your advice.
I was thinking about 2 configurations:
Config1:
- CPU: i7-4820k (founded on discount ~250e)
- MB: GA-X79-UP4 (it seemed ok for it's price ~200e)
- RAM: Kingston HyperX Genesis 16Gb (4x4Gb) 2400MHz CL11 XMP
Config2:
-CPU: i5-4670k
-MB: Asus z87-a (not sure if the difference in price from the K version is worth it)
-RAM: Crosair Vengeance Pro 16Gb (2x8Gb) 1866 CL9
Common parts:
-GPU: Palit GTX 770 2Gb JetStream
-SSD: Seagate 600 120Gb (was on sale, I was thinking on the kingstone one which was the same price)
-cooler: CollerMaster Hyper 212EVO (for some overclocking of the CPU)
-HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
-PSU: Sirtec EP-700 700W [80+ Bronze] (good price ~55e)
-Case: Zalman Z9
The config1 price is about 1150e and the config2 price is about 1000e.
I will play around with some overclocking of the CPU and GPU for better results.
The need for this Desktop is mostly for the 3d rendering of the building plans which is done 3-4 times a week.
For the first config, I'm not really sure about the MB and the next MB from ASUS is +100e and that config is already over the budget and I do not know if the difference between the config1 and 2 are that noticeable in the above programs.
Thank you all for all of your inputs,
Florin
